Holy of Holies Ancient Calendars of the Holy Bible

In Old Testament days, the Holy of Holies or the Most Holy Place was the most sacred part of a temple. Levite priests were the only people allowed to enter the Holy of Holies during special worship times. Priests burned incense and performed sacrificial ceremonies. The famous Ark of the Covenant adorned this Most Holy Place. The Holy of Holies was usually located toward the rear of the Tabernacle and surrounded by a thick curtain (Exodus Ch. 25-40). Inside the Holy of Holies, a golden lamp stand, table, incense altar and bronze altar usually accompanied the Ark of the Covenant. The table held the “Bread of the Presence”. Sheets of gold covered the portable furnishings. The calendar of Moses signifies ancient Judaism for those aspiring to be “priests forever on the order of Melchizedek” (Psalms 110:4).

A symbolic curtain for this version of the Holy of Holies is on the cover. The "Bread of the Presence" in this case is the body of the church. Portability of the Holy of Holies mixes early customs with the progress of technology. Levite priests once learned and practiced the sacred rites of worship. The reading audience inherits the responsibility. The calendar information dispersed is equally holy.

Holy of Holies is the sequel to Ages of Adam. A review of calendar material presented in Ages of Adam first introduces the separate Holy of Holies format. Characters following the “begat” genealogy of Adam and Seth include Enos, Cainan, Mahalaleel, Jared and Enoch. Genesis used a lunar/solar calendar to measure the lifetime ages for the Antediluvian Patriarchs. Six 800-year Generation Cycles plus the age of Enoch together spans some 5200-years of the Mayan Great Cycle.

Seven repetitions in the Jewish Calendar, the Ark of the Covenant and operant use of the 50 year Jubilee Cycle demonstrate supernatural powers. Among the miracles noted is the wall collapse at Jericho (Joshua 6:3 - 16). At dawn each morning, Joshua's people were encircled the city once a day for six days. “Men of war” were to lead a procession of seven priests blowing seven trumpets. Behind the priests, the Ark of the Covenant followed.

The Lord commanded the people following the Ark not to make any word or noise with their voice. Everyone shouted on the day Joshua selected. On the seventh day, the promenade encompassed the walls of Jericho seven times in the same manner. Joshua advised the people to shout on the seventh pass when they heard the ram's horn (shofar). The huge walls of Jericho fell down flat. The children of Israel captured the entire city.

The Jewish Calendar is the Lord's eternal domain. Based on the simple idea of separating, dividing, and "coming between," the natural differences between light and darkness are measured by the Jewish Calendar. Extending the Jewish Calendar beyond the first day (Genesis 1:4-5) adds greater time cycles. Lunar weeks, then entire months, and finally the difference between lunar years and solar years become the foundational time keepers for Adam, Seth, Enos, Cainan, Jared, Enoch and the remaining lineage of Antediluvian (pre-flood) Patriarchs (forefathers). The pattern of lunar/solar calendar order remained consistent for the Patriarchs. The style of counting lunar/solar calendar years during Adam's time persisted to 50 year Jubilee Cycles for Moses. Through the ancestry of these historical figures, and the blessed line toward Jesus Christ (I Chronicles, Luke 3:23-38), the Jewish Calendar is the procedure to measure time.

The Jewish Calendar harmonizes with the supernatural acts of God. Certain Jewish feasts and festivals common to Judaism and adapted by Christianity glorify the Lord. Celebrations preserve the Testament of the Hebrews and the Holy Bible. Since the beginning of recorded history, the Jewish Calendar has been in effect. Minor changes, modifications and intercalations have caused slight variations in the Jewish lunar/solar calendar since earliest days of the Creation. The concept of 19-year or 20-year lunar/solar calendar cycle branched many times over literally thousands of years.

The Jewish lunar/solar calendar indeed was the standard for Old Testament chronology. The 19-year pattern is a convention based upon lunar moon months. The society marking ages prior to the Deluge mixed l/s features later inherited by the Egyptian and Mayan calendar versions. Mobile groups had practical requirements for a maternally linked lunar-side calendar. Hunters and traveling bands looked up at night in order to learn the monthly progress. A 20-year l/s cycle is a variation of the 19-year l/s cycle. In contrast to the 19-year l/s pattern that required 209-intercalary-days, the 20-year l/s cycle approximates the difference between lunar and solar sides of the calendar to 210-days. Almighty God of the early Israelites could easily be worshipped at appointed times by roving tribes.

Nomadic people face two distinct disadvantages with the 19-year l/s cycle calendar. Decisions were necessary to calculate an exact month. A reference such as sighting the new moon crescent can arguably vary over one, two or even three days. The difficult task of keeping careful notes during 19-years certainly was problematic. Unequal divisions of months and hence, years negate the possibility of extensive calendars.

Lunar/solar 20-year cycles suggest a fixed society with solar calendar worship directed toward a particular Baal or Seth god. Both Semitic Baals and Egyptian Seth(s) mutually shared masculine fertility roles involving the solar-side of l/s calendar recording. The stable 20-year l/s calendar was easier to manage over extended periods and the logical alternative for longer calendar systems. Fixed obelisks and sacred pillars localized patronage to a particular area. The 20-year l/s cycle is a dominant sequence belonging to solar-side calculations and paternal worship. Cosmology of the zodiac and astronomical physics appear embedded in Egyptian mythology. Stories concerning Osirus and the sun-god Ra contain numeric remnants of calendar study.

Ages for the Antediluvian Patriarchs listed in Genesis incorporate the Mayan 400-year-Baktun-cycle and the 800-year Generation Cycle. The calendar was long-standing for the intriguing culture that recorded ages prior to the Deluge. Very ancient people were aware of supernatural tendencies reliant upon precise calendar times. Names for individual deities symbolically linked to numbered times. We access intangible, spiritual connotations by drilling deeply into the past. Resources exist to satiate appetites for magic, both flagrant and overwhelming.

Ages of Adam combines calendar systems of the Jewish Calendar, Egyptian Calendar and the Sun Kingdoms’ Calendars of the Americas to develop the pinnacle publication in Holy Bible calendar science research. Calendar tools encapsulate mathematical models and spiritual ideas. Holy of Holies is the innermost temple sanctuary of the Lord.

Please be aware of the forces that you are about to deal with!
